Anyone remember Tony Stokes who played for the Albion on loan. Played for 5 years as a midfielder didn't score. Converted to a striker and has become a prolific goalscorer scoring 50 odd in two seasons. Got me thinking about the players who have been converted to another position Thierry Henry for one. Do you think Will Buckley or even Kazenga LuaLua could be converted to become a prolific goal scorer. One thing they both have is pace. Just a thought.

Virgo doesn't count as he was converted into many positions by his then manager.

The team read ; Kuipers,Virgo,Virgo,Virgo,Virgo,Virgo,Virgo,Virgo,Virgo,Virgo,Virgo,Virgo.

If Kuipers was injured or sent off, sub Virgo went in goal,and Virgo went off to accommodate the change.

I suppose this is why the Hawk is such a hero with the TSLR crew. Mind you, you missed out Henderson's corker at Bournemouth - if any NSC'er can find that it would be quite amusing - not quite an own goal, but it might just as well have been. Nothing beats Ian Chapman's one against Leeds though.
